Running longterm

Once you've setup your keys and checked that the features you want are working, you have a couple of options for running the bot.

Selfhosted

You could run the bot along side everything else on your pc. However it's probably a good idea to run your bot on a separate computer such as a linux server or a Raspberry Pi so it does not interfere with your normal operations and to keep it running even if you were to sleep or shutdown your PC.

Cloud Hosted

There is a number of cloud hosting providers that can run small Python applications like this. The following have been tested to work, you'll have to extrapolate if you want to use some other provider (AWS, etc)

Running on Heroku

• Create heroku account, install heroku-cli, create a new Dyno.
• Git clone the repo and follow the instructions in the Deploy section to setup pushing to heroku
• Go to settings and setup Config Vars the name of the vars are exactly the same as the auth.json file. You DO NOT need the quotes around the values in config vars
• Run heroku scale worker=1 in the bot installation directory to run the bot as a worker rather than a webserver.
